BENJAMIN REECE WEAVER

Born November 24, 2002 to James W Weaver and Betty J Weaver nee Reece. Named for his Grandpa Ben who was thrilled.

Survived by his parents, Aunt Kris Weaver, Uncle Joe Weaver, Aunt Wendy Blanchard (Jeff) of England and Cousins: Trista Phillips (nee Musser), Morgan Kalmbach, Zach Mabbutt of England. Also Great Aunt Kathy Gratton-Edwards (Terry), Godmother Heather Brennan of Canada and numerous people who touched his life with a positive impact we are forever grateful for.

Predeceased by paternal Grandparents William “Bud” Weaver and Fran Weaver, maternal Grandparents Ben Reece and Evelyn Reece of Canada, Cousin Amanda Kalmbach. Unless otherwise noted all of the Treasure Valley.

Reece was much loved before his parents even met him. He was a miracle from the start…his twin was lost in utero so there was a high chance he would be too. Reece was born with Down syndrome and Hirschsprung’s at 37 weeks and faced many challenges due to the latter including his first surgery at 2 days old. The very skilled pediatric surgeon Dr. Elaine Reynolds promised to bring him back to us and she did each time she worked her magic and made his life better. He loved our dogs but the GSP were a bit much for him with his limited mobility and then we met Max a Smooth Fox Terrier and Reece immediately reached for him and was excited to see him each time Lesli Smith brought him close. Reece’s very own Smooth Fox joined us as soon as possible after. They adored each other and Rigel has been a constant comfort to us while we process this. Reece loved Batman and would argue about his batman blanket or pillow being taken to be washed. As we say goodbye to Reece on Tuesday June 24 please join us in celebrating him by wearing anything Batman or the colors black and yellow.
